Each year the Institute hosts a Visiting Professorship/Fellowship in Aegean Prehistory, funded by a generous donation from the Institute for Aegean Prehistory (INSTAP) in honour of Professor Peter Warren on the occasion of his 70th birthday in 2008. The Professorship/Fellowship is open to established scholars working on a project related to the field of Aegean Prehistory (i.e. from the Neolithic period to 776 BC). The Professorship/Fellowship is open to both overseas and UK/EU residents. The duration of tenure is between 4 to a maximum of 10 weeks during term time in an academic year, and carries an emolument of c. £4,000.
